• anyone who has rolled through Much Hadham on the London to Cambridge run over the last 15 years may have noticed the little Renault garage there opposite the shop. It has always had a champagne coloured mark 5 in the 'showroom'

    Well garage was open for once yesterday and the owner showed me around. 1983 R5 with just 23,000 on the clock. It is not for sale

  • All I can say is the front seats are really comfy and supportive, and changing a clutch on one is a fucking mission as the lack of captive bolts and the gearbox being in front of the engine.

  • May I suggest a different pair of shoes?

    You can’t get any feel for the pedals in carbon soles Sidi.

    Perhaps a pair of Hi-Tec Squash, period correct too.

  • Always liked the R5, never see the any more. Remember the GT Turbo advert from the 80's? Also featuring cats=win.
